The role of extracellular signal-regulated kinase in beta-adrenoceptor-mediated vasodilatation

Beta-Adrenoceptors (B-ARs) mediate vasodilatation by activating various mechanisms that collectively contribute to vascular smooth muscle (VSM) relaxation. It has been shown that B2-AR stimulation in cultured cells results in activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). As the function...
